Doc Watson - Moody River Lyrics
Moody River, more deadlyThan the vainest knifeMoody River, your muddy waterTook my baby's lifeLast Saturday eveningCame to the old oak treeIt stands beside the riverWhere you were to meet meOn the ground your glove I foundWith a note addressed to meIt read "Dear Love, I've done you wrong,Now I must set you free"No longer can I liveWith this hurt and this sinI just couldn't tell youThat guy was just a friendMoody River, more deadlyThan the vainest knifeMoody River, your muddy waterTook my baby's lifeI looked into the muddy watersAnd what did I seeI saw a lonely, lonely faceJust looking back at meTears in his eyesAng a prayer on his lipsAnd the glove of his lost loveAt his finger tipsMoody River, more deadlyThan the vainest knifeMoody River, your muddy waterTook my baby's life
